[QUOTE="OaktownACE, post: 14196140, member: 147830"] I think my mods are in my sig but if they aren't showing up: Steeda adj uca and bracket, billet poly/spherical lca, relocation brackets, adj panhard bar, panhard brace, FRPP L springs, revan racing braided brake and clutch lines, Bobs oil separator, redline hood struts and Jaegar bros rock guards I read of fitment issues with the frpp brackets and just went with the same brand as the LCAs. I read and was told that even with the BMR reloc brackets being bolt on that it would be best to weld any reloc bracket in. I scrape my high speed splitter on my driveway with the L springs so any more drop would have been a no go. I almost just did h&r springs in the back and left the front stock. As far as BMR springs, I'm not sure if they have gt500 specific springs or not. If you search you can find a pretty nasty exchange about that. I really debated the lack of zerk fittings with the Steeda parts. Two things put me generally at ease. First, I read about how easy it was to install zerk fittings. Also when I called Steeda they said much the same, it's easy to put zerk fittings in but they don't have them and they don't get complaints. I'm sure they get some but if they got a lot they'd put in zerk fittings. Second, I was under the impression that you just connect your grease gun and pump a couple times every 6 months to a year but it's not that simple (and again my lazy side showed up). You have to loosen the bolts to allow for the grease to effectively coat the bushing. Otherwise you won't be able to pump the grease or possibly you blow out your bushing. Kelly is totally right, all poly needs to be greased, but the debate is how much and how often, not do you have to grease poly bushings. That's where the two companies have a different philosophy and I think that's where bushing design may make a difference. I still can't figure it out. And btw, Kelly and Van are more than happy to talk to you. Although I was hesitant, I called both and they were super nice. They sell BMR, but they were very approachable and I appreciated that. Steeda was also super friendly and when I had my problems with install due to the shop being idiots they helped me out. So there is a window into my insanity. [/QUOTE]
